Jezebel Rises Again: Paste Magazine's Acquisition Revives the Pop-Culture Publication

Paste Magazine has acquired Jezebel, the feminist news and opinion site that was recently shut down by G/O Media. The terms of the sale were not disclosed, but Paste Magazine will take over the Jezebel brand and its content archive. The new owner plans to revive Jezebel with a "soft launch" this week, with new content written by Paste's writers, before hiring an editor-in-chief and other staff members. The acquisition also includes the politics site Splinter, which will be relaunched next year. Paste Magazine aims to preserve Jezebel's editorial independence and distinctive voice.
